In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction
To heal addiction, you have to go back to the startโ€ฆFeatured on Russell Brandโ€s podcast Under the SkinDr Gabor Matรฉ is one of the worldโ€s most revered thinkers on the psychology of addiction. His radical findings โ€“ based on decades of work with patients challenged by catastrophic drug addiction and mental illness โ€“ are reframing how we view all human development.In this award-winning modern classic, Gabor Matรฉ takes a holistic and compassionate approach to addiction, whether to alcohol, drugs, sex, money or anything self-destructive. He presents it not as a discrete phenomenon confined to a weak-willed few, but as a continuum that runs through (and even underpins) our society; not as a medical โ€conditionโ€, but rather the result of a complex interplay of personal history, emotional development and brain chemistry.Distilling cutting-edge research from around the world, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts avoids glib self-help remedies, instead promoting self-understanding as the first key to healing and wellness. Blending personal stories and science with positive solutions, and written in spellbinding prose, it is a must-read that will change how you see yourself, others and the world.10th anniversary edition, updated with new chapter on the Opiod crisis
